Couldn't really ask for more than that. Excellent bowling helped by some dodgy Essex batting at times. Massive session coming up, should be a great watch.

Only a small lead then, would be nice to be 200 ahead with wickets in hand by the end of today.

Top order fails yet again

Needed to address this in the winter. Fingers crossed for middle order revival

Mousley, since his brilliant ton v Surrey, has barely made a run and that this afternoon was a particularly poor dismissal.

Farrell does appear to have a good reading of the game, seems to know about the players she's commentating on and I do think she is a genuine lover of county cricket.

I really like her knowledge and enthusiasm. I'd prefer her to most. The dreadful heavy-breather Clive Eakin has resurfaced on the stream. I had hoped he would have packed it in last season but it looks like we will have to endure his banality for another year.

Nail on the head. We have been desperate for a quality top order batsman for some years now. I really want Mousley to do well but a Marcus Harris type is what we need.

They've all made runs this season at times, as individuals, we're just not putting partnerships together as a unit.

Also, time and again, it just feels as though no matter how well we bowl whatever the surface, the opposition just bowl better. Hopefully we buck that trend in the 4th innings...

Skipper needs a score...

Need to eke out another 130 minimum you'd think from here?

Come on Beau...

Yep, bowling at anything above 230 would be nice but even then, we have to bowl well.

feels very similar to Yorkshire away last year. Every run vital and it's Beau getting them...
